I hope everything went well Lisa! I have to be at the hospital at 7AM for my surgery in the morning.

I'm a few days behind you. My surgery is Thursday. Good Luck!

I had a funny experience during my Pre-op Endoscopy. I am a college professor and I teach Human Anatomy and Physiology (A&P) to students who are going into the Nursing Program. When they rolled me in for my Endoscopy one of the nurses on the team said I had been their A&P professor. Because I was doped up already and he was covered I said "Oh really I don't remember you". Afterwards I was somewhat horified I had spoken without censoring my comment and I have wondered ever since about the name of this former student. Of course I don't remember. My surgery is at this same local hospital so I am anticipating having some reunions with former students.

Hey... How long does it take a surgeon to do the laprascopic RNY reconstruction? Just wondering. I am sure my sister will want to know before my surgery next week.

Good Luck!

Good Luck!!!

Good Luck I'll be in touch with you...

Naynay you are so right. I have been so preoccupied with worries that the surgery wouldn't happen that I trully didn't expect it to go through. Actually last week something potentially catastrophic did happen. I called my family Physician to check that he had submitted the Letter of medical necessity and I was told he wouldn't do it unless I had a physical. Of course I have seen him 8 times in the last 12 months and he never mentioned the physical. They set the date of the physical for August 5th! I was freaking out until I called the surgeon and they said that they would submit the paperwork without the letter and that they didn't expect it to matter. In the end it didn't and I got the insurance approval. Huh... my story! Anyway...Good luck with your surgery. I will be thinking about you on Monday!

Hi Miss Lisa I am having surgery on August 8th so we are almost on the same date. Sure I would text with you. Of course on your first day after I won't be available. Stephen

Hi Gang... I live 30 miles North of Pittsburgh near Butler...

No Liquid diet for me... Just the day before surgery...

Awesome Girl! You look fantastic!

Naynay... I had the surgery date but not the approval from insurance. My surgery date is August 8th but I just got approval yesterday. As with you it now seems real.

Hi Shershrinking... I made the surgery appointment about a month ago contigent upon getting approval from the insurance company. This window of time fits well with my work schedule so I have felt a lot of pressure to not let any of the remaining hurdles derail this surgical appointment. So far so good. Thanks for the well wishes!

Congrats!!! I just the telephone call from my surgeon saying my surgery has been approved too! Mine is scheduled for August 8th.
